1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Introduction: Positive intracranial arterial remodelling is a dilated lesion of the large intracranial vessels; however, its pathogenesis is currently unknown. Some studies have identified chitinase-3 like-protein-1 (YKL-40) and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 as circulating inflammatory factors involved in positive vascular remodelling. Herein, we aimed to investigate the relationship between changes in serum YKL-40 and MMP-9 levels and positive intracranial arterial remodelling in patients with cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD). Methods: A total of 110 patients with CSVD were selected. Patients with brain arterial remodelling (BAR) scores >1 times the standard deviation were defined as the positive intracranial artery remodelling group ( Results: Statistically significant differences in serum YKL-40 and MMP-9 levels were observed between the positive and non-positive remodelling groups ( Discussion: Elevated serum YKL-40 and MMP-9 levels are independent risk factors for positive intracranial arterial remodelling in patients with CSVD and may predict the presence of positive intracranial arterial remodelling, providing new ideas for the mechanism of its occurrence and development and the direction of treatment.
